    Others could be injured in a firearm suicide, and someone still has to clean up the mess. Self-euthanasia is it’s own topic, but I think most could agree that the solution to assisted suicide isn’t allowing unstable people to own firearms.

      Any other solution would require getting permission from the state to die in some way or another, meaning you effectively don’t have a right to die on your terms.

        I disagree, ropes are easy to find or make, and you only need a couple pounds of force to asphyxiate; people hang themselves from doorknobs and shit, it’s super reliable if you do it right.

        Allowing unstable people to own firearms is a danger to others, and would only increase impulsive suicides and messy survivors.
